[Mono-list] .net 1.1

[Dennis Hayes]

Most of the changes in 1.1 were to non-ecma classes, especially data and
winforms.
All the 1.1 changes have been added to winforms, a few are commented out
because they depend on other libs. Most of the changes have been to
accessibly i.e. privet to public, also serialize local has been added to a
number of classes.

Other are already working on version 2 of C# generics.
As I see it, most of the 1.1 changes are minor, and the 2.0 changes such as
generics have been (mostly) expected and widely perceived as good additions.
We have betas of 1.1, so we know a lot about what will be in there. For 2.0,
the ecma parts are being discussed openly, but info on non-ecma parts is not
available, so for winforms we have no clue about 2.0)
